    Ballistic app for phone

    I like and use Strelok but I think it is now unavailable. Is there an equivalent app available. A friend of mine could find one helpful.

    I've found Hornady's 4dof app to work well.

    Strelok is still available on Android through the Huawei App Gallery. Or if you have an old android phone you can transfer it to your new phone.

    Applied Ballistics is a subscription now which I'm not a fan of. Then if you want a CDM you have to buy it on top of the subscription.

    Woody not that I have done any long range shooting for quite some time now, I used iSnipe when I did. Over the years I did use it, I compared its calculations against many other applications and using all of the same inputs I never ever found any other app give a different answer. What my simple brain deduced from that is the math in them all is the same so therefor when choosing it should come down to that which you find the easiest and most useful to your purposes.

    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Strelok is available for Android still but you can't get it on iPhone.

    What your saying about AB is correct but when you have put the amount of work in that they have I think it is fair enough you get rewarded.
    As far as buying cdm's go at least you have the option.
    Also there is no point buying a cdm unless you are shooting into the transonic range anyway.
    The new labradar will sort the bc problem as will do a cdm for you.
    No matter what you have you need to validate up to transonic and do a DSF if going past and into subsonic.
    It's like buying the best optic to get the best results you have to stump up some money.
    The 5700 kestrel is probably the best investment in shooting sports to be fair.
    It comes with all the cdm's.

    I looked at Strelok a few weeks ago, there seems to be more than one type?.

    Strelok
    Strelok Pro
    Strelok APK

    APK is the file format for Android Apps, so Strelok APK is a direct download for the file you then manually install, as opposed to download through a store.

    There are 3 different Strelok:
    Strelok (free)
    Strelok+
    Strelok Pro

    The free version is good but definitely has some limitations. Strelok+ gives a few more options, and Strelok Pro has a tonne of options.

    I started with free then bought + because I wanted to do a few additional things. I eventually bought Pro and realized I should've done that from the beginning.

    I say start with the free version, if it's missing features you need then go straight to Pro. + might actually not exist anymore but it definitely used to.

    Another option you might consider is Garmin Fenix watches, model 5 and newer. There’s a TruFlite app you can install via Garmin Connect. You set up your rifle, projectile, bc, muzzle velocity etc and then sync to your watch. The watch measures actual pressure & elevation, you input range, temp, wind speed, direction etc and bingo you’ve got the ballistic solution on your wrist. A second hand Fenix 5 or 6 is not too spendy. From memory I paid about $350 for mine a couple of years back.

    Sooo, I'm not into long range shooting at all. I'm wondering why you need these apps?

    Just in case,, I went in line to the Hornady ballistic calculator.
    Tap in the info.
    Gives you the numbers.
    Take a photo or screen shot and save it on the mobile.

    I went a step further, did 3 different rifles and loads.
    Consolidated it all on 1 xls sheet then took a screen shot

    I keep in for Justin, on the mobile.

    Certainly no expert, just my 2c
